Wish me luck, we’re trying timeouts. AKA Round one: Jared

Wish me luck. Today, I’m attempting to use timeout with Jared. I don’t know how this is going to work. I’ve tried timeout before but I’ve been told both by the pediatrician and my friend that I haven’t been doing it correctly. With the Supernanny, my friend now thinks watching the show makes her an expert (sorry, just frustrated here). Seriously, I’ve been putting Jared … Continue reading Wish me luck, we’re trying timeouts. AKA Round one: Jared

Help, I’m going winter break crazy

Happy New Year, everyone! I smile today because Christmas Break is coming to a close and my two oldest boys will return to school. I need to read some parenting blogs and learn how to take control back. I send them to brush, no brushing. I make dinner, all I hear are complaints. My friends, I am a pretty good cook.

breastfeeding, confrontations, opinions

Am I a monster?

I noticed that the first thing most mothers say to me when they see us (Justin and me) in the grocery store or Target (the only two places we go) is are you breastfeeding? Isn’t this a little personal? Coming from a total stranger, it seems a little forward. You wouldn’t come up to me and ask if I’m wearing a pushup bra or if … Continue reading Am I a monster?

breastfeeding, midnight feed, silly

I think he broke my boob.

In the middle of the night, I pulled the baby to me to breastfeed. It was probably his second or third feed since midnight. I was so tired that I dozed off. I woke up about 90 minutes later and he was still hanging on. Ummmm. Get off!!!!! I noticed that this boob was a little flat this morning. Hope he gets a great job … Continue reading I think he broke my boob.
